What You're Up Against

Level 285 paints Puzzle with 342 tiles across 5 colors, split into 11 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.

  • Purple: 78 tiles → cubes of 52, 26
  • Green: 75 tiles → cubes of 42, 33
  • Indigo: 75 tiles → cubes of 50, 22, 3
  • Teal: 75 tiles → cubes of 27, 24, 24
  • Lime: 39 tiles → cubes of 39

⚠️ 1 hidden “?” cube in the tray.

Spoiler: what they hide

Teal 24

Step-by-Step Solution

This loading order was computed from the web level layout with a reachability-first strategy: always feed the ants colors they can actually reach, and never let all 5 slots fill with blocked colors. Tap hidden “?” cubes only when you have slot room to absorb a surprise color.

Load the cubes in this order, letting the ants work between picks. Unless noted, a cube's tiles are fully reachable when you send it.

  1. Send the Green 33 cube.
  2. Send the Teal 27 cube.
  3. Send the Purple 26 cube.
  4. Send the Teal 24 cube.
  5. Send the Indigo 22 cube.
  6. Send the Indigo 3 cube.
  7. Send the Indigo 50 cube. Only ~30 of its 50 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
  8. Send the Purple 52 cube. Only ~30 of its 52 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
  9. Send the Green 42 cube. Only ~27 of its 42 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
  10. Send the Teal 24 cube. Only ~20 of its 24 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
  11. Send the Lime 39 cube. Only ~20 of its 39 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.

Finish without boosters for 3 stars and bonus coins. If the board jams anyway, a Shuffle or Vacuum booster is the cheapest way out.
